Anime Expo Round-up Part 2: 'Utena', 'Dimension W' and more

With Anime Expo 2015- probably the biggest anime focused convention of the year- now wrapped up, we bring you the second part of our round-up of the biggest news coming out of the show. (Part One is here)

The US's biggest anime distributor FUNimation announced they will be moving into co-producing- and will be on the production committee of Dimension W. The series is based on a manga by the author of King Of Thorn. They also announced plans to release the classic original Full Metal Alchemist in a complete Blu-Ray box-set, and addedVenus Project: Climax and Chaos Dragon to their summer streaming line-up.

Right Stuf are also resurrecting a couple of classic anime on Blu-ray with Revolutionary Girl Utena and the original mech drama Gundam both getting a HD makeover. Sunrise- the makers of Gundam- also teased that they are working on a brand new installment of the giant robot franchise- more details to follow soon.

The US arm of Production I.G. (the studio behind many classics such as Ghost In The Shell) is to produce a series for Fox's Animation Domination High-Def block.

Lucky panel attendees were given a sneaky peek at the next, unannounced project by Studio Trigger, the people who brought you Kill La Kill.
